European Commission
Candidate commissioners to appear before European Parliament committees from 29 September
In the run-up to the hearings, parliamentary committees will send written questions to the candidates on 18 September, which will need to be answered in writing by 26 September. There will be two general questions common to all on competence, portfolio and co-operation with Parliament, and three from the relevant committee. Where more committees are involved in hearings, they may also submit two additional written questions.
The hearings will last at least three hours and will be broadcast and webstreamed live. The commissioners-designate may make an opening statement, after which MEPs will pose questions. Each committee will then draw up an evaluation in camera, to be sent to the President of Parliament.
For commissioners-designate with horizontal responsibilities, special arrangements will be made, including appearances before multiple committees.
